Dont think we should get traction and hadling mixed up tho, yes in the wet the VXR that i am running (circa 300BHP) would have no chance against a tuned scooby round corners because of fwd, but it handles just as well.
Lipski how the hell did you get 32000 posts!. And you would not believe the amount of cupra r's that have tried to have a go, all to no avail. One of the new ones as well, so not sure about beats the VXR anyday
